Python's ABI version would be 2.4.3, but if you're referring to a module 'abi', I don't think one exists? You can always fire up python and type 'import <modulename>' to see if that module exists.yum localinstall hip* Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Setting up Local Package Process Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * base: medon.htt-consult.com * updates: medon.htt-consult.com * addons: mirror.steadfast.net * extras: pubmirrors.reflected.net 272 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Examining hipl-agent-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-agent - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-daemon-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-daemon - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-debuginfo-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-debuginfo - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-doc-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-doc - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-firewall-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-firewall - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-lib-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-lib - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-test-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-test - 1.0.4-1.i386 Examining hipl-tools-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm: hipl-tools - 1.0.4-1.i386 Marking hipl-agent-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-daemon-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-debuginfo-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-doc-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-firewall-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-lib-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-test-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Marking hipl-tools-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package hipl-doc.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated ---> Package hipl-tools.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 for package: hipl-tools ---> Package hipl-firewall.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated ---> Package hipl-lib.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 for package: hipl-lib ---> Package hipl-agent.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated ---> Package hipl-debuginfo.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated ---> Package hipl-test.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated ---> Package hipl-daemon.i386 0:1.0.4-1 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by package hipl-libError: Missing Dependency: python(abi) = 2.5 is needed by package hipl-toolsBTW, if you are interested, this is the hipl implementation of the HIP protocol.
It looks like those RPMS are not built for CentOS-5 ... but were instead built against a version of linux with a newer version of python installed.
You can't install FC8 packages (for example) directly on CentOS-5 ... all the shared libraries are different, so the required things will not exist.
depending on the item in question, you might be able to BUILD it from the sources on CentOS-5 and then use it ... I have no idea what hipl is or does.
